Heres the text
In the spring of each year, the second largest dead zone in the United States forms in the Gulf of Mexico. During the spring, farmers fertilize their land as they prepare for crop season. As a result, nutrients from the fertilizers, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, drain into the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, “Excess nutrients that run off land or are piped as wastewater into rivers and coasts can stimulate an overgrowth of algae, which then sinks and decomposes in the water” (NOAA, 2018). The decomposition process consumes and depletes oxygen levels in the Gulf of Mexico, which causes hypoxic areas or dead zones.
A group of scientists measured several water quality parameters to better understand how dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico impact brown shrimp populations over time. The scientists are most interested in the dissolved oxygen levels because the levels are critical for the survival of brown shrimp populations. Brown shrimp populations thrive when dissolved oxygen levels in the Gulf of Mexico are greater than 2 mg/L. However, the populations cannot thrive when dissolved oxygen levels are at or below 2/mg/L.

Answers
The correct answer is option B.
Diffusion is the process of movement of both the solute and solvent. the characteristic of diffusion is that it does not require a membrane or a layer separating two parts. In diffusion particles or solutes move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
In the example, we can see that red particles are together in a place and after some time they get distributed evenly in the entire liquid. This process is known as diffusion as it does not require a membrane.

Hii :)
First, what is a "Gymnosperm"?
A gymnosperm is a plant that has seeds unprotected by a fruit.
Now, whats a fern?A fern is a flowerless plant that has feathery or leafy fronds and reproduces by spores released from the undersides of the fronds.
Okay, now, what makes them different? Ferns are flowerlessFerns do not have seedsFerns are grouped into one divisonFerns have smaller speciesGymnosperms have seeds.Gymnosperms are grouped in more than one divisonGymnosperms have a larger species.Now, what do the have in common?They are both vascular They both have sporophyte dominant generationSome gymnosperm types

Median = 26

c.
Mean = 24.8
Median = 34
Mode = 26
b.
Mean = 24.8
Median = 26
Mode = 25
d.
Mean = 24.8
Median = 26
Mode = 26
Please select the best answer from the choices provided
A
B
C
D
Answers
Answer:
D.
Mean: 24.8
Median: 26
Mode: 26
Explanation:
The mean is the average. To find the average, add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers there are.
30 + 26 + 25 + 11 + 34 + 20 + 26 + 26 = 198
Now, we divide by how many numbers we started out with (8).
198 divided by 8 = 24.75, rounded would be 24.8
To find the median, you arrange the numbers from smallest to largest, and find the middle number like this:
11, 20, 25, 26, 26, 26, 30, 34
As you can see, the middle number is 26.
To find the mode, you arrange the number from smallest to largest, and find the number that appears more often.
11, 20, 25, 26, 26, 26, 30, 34
As you can see, the number 26 appears the most often.
So, we end up with:
Mean: 24.8
Median: 26
Mode: 26

Explanation: mean = 24.75
Median 26

D Miohippus
Answers
Answer: I think the answer would be D miohippus
Explanation:
Miohippus would be found in the uppermost layer of rock. Therefore, option (B) is correct.
What is Miohippus?Miohippus is an extinct genus of early horse that lived in North America during the Miocene epoch, around 23 to 5 million years ago. It was a small, three-toed horse that was slightly larger than its predecessor, Mesohippus.
Miohippus had a relatively short face, with a long, narrow skull and teeth that were adapted for grinding tough vegetation. It is believed that Miohippus was the ancestor of the modern horse, and that its evolution was characterized by an increase in size, a reduction in the number of toes, and changes in the shape of the skull and teeth that allowed for a more efficient grazing diet.
